Speaking about the new campaign, Ashley said she loves embracing her curves:
“I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt. The world is ready for more curves in bikinis.
“swimsuitsforall helps women feel confident and sexy in swimsuits and I am so thrilled to be a part of the Curves In Bikinis campaign!”
The ad will feature as part of a new swimsuitsforall campaign, #CurvesinBikinis, that aims to help celebrate the beginnings of the ‘Curvy Girl Era’ and to help women feel confident and sexy in any swimsuit.
Speaking to The Edit about being body confident, Ashley said:
"I think that you can be healthy at any size and my goal is to help and educate women on that. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2 or 22 as long as you’re taking care of your body, working out, and telling yourself, ‘I love you’ instead of taking in the negativity of beauty standards."
